According to Korean media reports, 2PM member Jun.K was investigated by the police for drunk driving at about 7 a.m. South Korea time on the 10th. He was driving alone and had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.074 percent. Although the police did not detain him on the spot, jun.K. will be summoned for a detailed investigation at a later date.
JYP Entertainment, a brokerage company to which Jun.K belongs, confirmed the news and apologized to the public, "Kim Min Joon (Jun.K) himself is reflecting on it and feels very remorseful. Jun.K's future activities will be completely suspended, and if the itinerary has been signed with an overseas partner company, it will respect the wishes of the other company and decide whether to proceed normally. ”
This is not the first time that 2PM members have had a drunk driving incident, among which Thai member Nichkhun broke out in a drunk driving accident at its peak in 2012, although it did not cause casualties, but it made his image seriously damaged. Originally, his endorsement advertisements could be seen everywhere in Korea, and he was also ordered by the manufacturer to "withdraw all the way". Since then, he has moved to the mainland and Japan to run an acting career, and his chances of appearing on the Korean screen have plummeted.
JYP Entertainment also stressed that in order to prevent the drunk driving of its artists, it has designated a special driving company for its artists since 2014, and the cost is paid in full by the company, "but this has happened, let us feel the great responsibility again, will seek more effective preventive measures, and once again express the deepest apologies." ”
